nothing said about nothing in over 30 minutes :D

[Wood Butcher]

Every time SWMBO asks what's wrong and I say nothing she thinks that there is something, so I have to say something so that she thinks that my nothing means that there is something when really there is nothing.

I'm going now because I am getting really confused.:D

[Driver]

Bit of a slow Saturday night is it, fellas? :p

[savage]

If you think that I am going to waste my time keeping up with this thread on nothing you are sadly correct:p , as it has the potential to be a comical waste of time!....:D

[rick_rine]

uh?

[DavidG]

Footy must be over.
The children are bored. :D

[Grunt]

Footy must be over.


Yup, watched a DVD on a Saturday night for the first time in 6 months. Going to have to find other things to amuse myself now that the footy has finished, maybe go out with friends or maybe go out to dinner.

BTW, I just watched Spider-man 2. Great movie.

[Schtoo]

Spiderman 2 aint bad, but I just watched 'The Notebook'.

Not saying anything more than watch it.

Even better is if there is someone of the female persuasion to watch it with. ;) ;)

[maglite]

maybe go out with friends

They must cost you a fortune each month to keep?:p

9 hours and still nothing about nothing

This is a blank post. There is nothing in it. If you feel that you are reading something, please take the pink pill now.

That's pretty good.
A thread about nothing has lasted 3 days
and got 36 posts.

But sadly it seems about 600 odd woodies couldn't find anything to post, how very very sad :rolleyes:

Who are the " odd woodies " echidna ? Personally I reckon they're the ones posting to this stupid post ( like me ) , not the ones who have ignored it . They are probably sane !

[DavidG]

Nothing is the lack or absence of anything. "Nothing" and "zero" are closely related but not identical concepts.

The term "nothing" is rarely used mathematically, though it could be said that a set contains nothing if and only if it is the empty set, in which case its cardinality (or size) is zero.

Nothing differs from zero in the way that zero is something, a finite amount which is defined. While nothing overlaps the quantity zero, in the way that it also is, when finitely defined, zero, it differs in the way that it has no specific basis like zero does in numbers.

If looked at philosophically, the concept of "nothing" can have many interpretations. In fact, people can even state that nothing does not exist. You cannot sense, see, feel, or think nothing. There is no contact with nothing.

Nothing is where everything isn't. Visualizing "nothing" would make "something". It could be seen as a physical void or as just a word which only has meaning when used to describe a relationship between different "somethings". There is no "right" or "wrong" in the interpretation of the word "nothing". Everyone is entitled to their own ideas and interpretations.

The concept of "nothing" has been studied throughout history by philosophers and theologians; many have found that careful consideration of the notion can easily lead to the logical fallacy of reification. The understanding of "nothing" varies widely between cultures, especially between Western and Eastern cultures and philosophical traditions, though existentialism, and in particular Heidegger have brought the understandings closer together.

Looks like the thread died,
Pity as theres a lot of nothing about Anthony Robbins on another thread

[rick_rine]

Even Anthony Robbins could build this if he wasnt so busy making money .

Bath is removed to make a change table . Yes for sure there are much better ones on this forum but I must admit there are much , much better woodworkers than me too .



Cost to build , NOTHING . Thats the post .

Good evening all

Nothing is good enough for this thread even though this thread is good for nothing. Nothing deserves an answer except for the following question -

If I am building a triangle to support a seat, using timber that is 92 mm wide (when viewing the triangle in plan), so that the upright is 375 mm long and the right-angled top is 435 mm long, what's the untrimmed length of the hypotenuse, (to determine how long to cut the piece before trimming the ends to fit and take account of the angles at each end)?

Nothing could be simpler, but perhaps this is not simpler than nothing.

A strange conundrum I admit, but then again, this is Sunday evening.

Regards

[Waldo]

G'day,

Nothing but to do and read this thread or go to bed. Think I'll go to bed and have a sleep and do nothing while I'm at it. :D

Give us a sketch pete if this is wrong cause this is how i've interperated you so far.
Normally the hypotenuse is the square root of the sum of the squares of the oyher two sides ( in a right angel triangle)
or 375 squared = 140,625
435 squared = 189225
Total = 329850 the square root of this is 574.33 mm

Assuming your maths is correct (not gonna check it) you're right in assuming pythagorus' theorem applies. However, your figures give us the total length of the diagonal and don't allow for the 92mm thickness of the top & side pieces. So, unless we know how he's joining, it can't be calculated.

For example, let's assume he's just going to butt-join to the inside of these two pieces. We could go the technogeek route and calculate both required angles (TanX = OppX/AdjX, and TanY = AdjX/OppX) to use the resultant angles in calculating the hypotenuse for each triangluated end. (HypX = OppX1/SinX & HypY = OppY1/SinY, where OppX1, OppY1 = 92mm) We could then subtract these two lengths from the total external hypotenuse that you've previously calculated to give us the outside length of the brace.

We could go the engineering route and work it out more simply. (TanX = 375/435) Having one angle, we know the other angle is 90°-X° but we don't need to work even that out 'cos all we're after is the hypotenuse and simple geometry tells us that both triangulated ends will be the same, so we work out the hypotenuse for one end (HypX=92/SinX), double it and subtract that result from your length.

Or, as woodies, we could joint the top/side together, use a straight edge to scribe the diagonal and measure it with a tape. :D

Simplest of all is the yuppy method. Ring up a woodie, give him the specs and say "do it."

Do you want to hear the programmer's route? "Not our problem, that's hardware."

How about the housewifes? :confused: No? Spoilsports! :D

[Gingermick]

Why is Pythagorus' theorem still called a theorem and not Pythagorus' law?

You're well on your way to becoming an expert then.

After all, an expert specialises more'n'more in a smaller'n'smaller field of study until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.

There are a few (actually hundreds!) of consultants from one of the big four (near, well actually at the top of, the alphabetic list) where I work that fit this category very well indeed...

The sad thing is that they will keep insiting that they are right, when all available evidence pouts to the contrary. Ah well :rolleyes:

That reminds me of a conversation I overheard in the uni caf while doing my degree...

#1: The answer is definitely Yes.
#2: Wrong. Facts show it is No.
#1: Then the question was posed incorrectly.

I've no idea what subject they were talking about, not sure I want to know. But I'll bet they were working on a master's degree. ;)
